Feedback: Detroit mayor needs to help emergency manager get message out

Sep. 21, 2013

Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr is doing what needs to be done. If Detroit Mayor Dave Bing really wants to be involved, he should be out in the neighborhoods garnering support for the direction that Orr is heading. The debate is already over — Bing lost. Time to move forward.

Education should be America's No. 1 priority

That America lags far behind a number of nations in the core subjects of math and science is government’s failure to understand the importance of investing in people.

The quality of education given our young people stands as a resource that cannot be matched in results by the wasteful government practices of misplaced priorities — some of which serve and benefit a narrow segment of our society who already have the financial means of a quality education.

Medicaid expansion greatly appreciated

Thank you, Gov. Rick Snyder, for signing the Medicaid bill into law. As a cancer survivor of six-plus years with at least five more years of treatment, this law will make a huge difference.
